amusing tidbits

It's been forever since I have posted non-baby related thoughts! But that's been my life so far!

• So a question - lot of people say when baby reaches 6 weeks, some routine will be formed. So, does the baby magically wake up on the 6 week mark and say, "I am done with my vacation, better start a routine!"? If that is the case, then Hungry Lion has 1 week of vacation left! And I am counting down days! ;)
• Yesterday N so sweetly offered a back massage. I immediately laid down on my side ready for back rub. After a while I realised I could sleep on my tummy. I so hesitatingly moved to my stomach and the world didn't crumbling down. It's been forever since I laid on my stomach! wow..what a feeling!
• I went on a walk this morning after feeding baby. My first outing on my own! And my thoughts still stayed with HL. But oh dear how my body has become stiff! Need to do this more often. What would have taken me 15 minutes took me nearly half hour to walk! ooof...

Baby calls...my time is up!

I think it's not so much that the baby develops a routine, but we as mommies get better at reading their cues and giving them cues to do certain things! (I think).

For example, before 6 weeks, Erika sort of slept and ate... whenever. But now I know if I give her a bath, she will sleep for 4 - 5 hours. If I play with her a lot and get her kicking and moving, she'll be hungry and want to feed within 20 - 40 minutes. That way, if I want to go out at, say, 1 pm, I know what I need to do in the morning to precipitate that event happening.

I imagine so. However, HL goes both ways after a bath - either sleeps blissfully or is crankier than before! We are getting better at reading her signs...

There was a lady in my neighborhood

who took her baby out for a stroller everyday at around 11am.
Couple laps around the block and back to home.
Tired 'em both out!
